i claim.' (ci. 13a-33) I'he device forming the subject matter of this spect to the projections 5, 5a and 5b, that is, the applicationis adapted to be used forimparting a projections on the respective sides of the implevvave to the human hair, in .a way commonly ment are arranged in alternating order, longituunderstood by hairdressers 'andothers v e dinally of the implement. The device comprises main and auxiliary mem- In the outerl ends of the terminal projections 5 bers, preferably in the form'of bars, the bars 4 of the main member 1, recesses 6 are formed, having lateral projections about which the hair and these recesses communicate with transverse is looped. The invention aims to providenovel bores 7, extended inwardly through the main means for separating the main and auxiliary member 1. The recesses 6 and the bores 'Z co- 10 members transversely, t0 tighten the hair and operate to form shoulders 8, within the terminal 10 produce a satisfactory wave. A further object projections fl. of the invention is to provide novel means for Transverse guides 9 are Secured ai; 10, by yiV- guiding the main and auxiliary members as they eting or otherwise, to the auxiliary member 2, are separated. A further object of the invention emi are eiidebie inthe heres 7 of the terminal is to provide a device of the class described which projectie-fig 4 0f the main member 1 The guides 15 Will DOSSeSs great strength and be Well adapted 9 are supplied at their outer ends with enlarged to withstand hard use. heads 11, movable inthe recesses 6, and adapted It iS Withirl the province 0f the CliSelOSure t0 to cooperate with the shoulders 8, to limit the improve generally and t0 enherlee the iltlitt7 0f amount that the main and auxiliary members l deViCeS 0f that type t0 Which the invention epand 2 are separated, by a means to be described 20 pertains. hereinafter. Owing to the fact that the guides or With the above and other Objects in viewy securing devices 9 are mounted in the terminal which will appear as the description proceeds, the` projections 4 ef the main member 1, Jgifle eemiee invention resides in the CombirletOrl end ertion between the members 1 and 2 is strengthened.

Without departing from the spirit 0f the irlVerlthey do not project outwardly, to catch the hair 30 tion. which is being worked upon.

In the accompanying draWiIlg The members 1 and 2 are spaced apart trans- Fig. 1 ShOWS irl plan, e CieVCe @Oristrueted irl versely, at the will of an operator, by separating eeeerderlee With the inVerltiOIl; devices 12, 12a and 12b, such as screws, bearing Fie 2 iS a longitudinal Section? at their inner ends against the inner edge of the 35 Filg. 3 is an elevation wherein the device is members 1 The Separating device 12 is thread- Viewed edgewseed into the inner end of the auxiliary member 2.

The d evce forming .the Subject matter of @is The separating device 12a is threaded into the appcatlon preembly 1S. made of metal through' shorter projection 5a. The outer end surface of lo out' It compnses a' I nam member l m. theorin the headr of the separating device 12a, is in the of a bar, and an auxillary member 2, likewise 1n same plane with the Outer end Surfaces of the me form of a bar a-Id thlrlnember 1 rtd 2 beprojections 5, and the diameter of the head of the mg located 81de by S1 e' e mem er 1S Some" separating device 12a. is the same as the diameter what shorter than the member 1, so that one end of the projection 5. This is done to prevent the of the member 1 forms a handle 3. L'here are i hair from catching on the head of the sepai ating outwai dly extended lateral projections 4 on the device 12a 1st the hair is being O ted in he auxiliar member 2 has sg ljonjcions 5, 5ay and 511 The place, as .indicated 1n Fig l. The separating deprojection 5a is an intermediater projection, and V10@ i219 1S threaded mtO the projection 5b, and

is characterized by the fact that it is of less. height the elemeter 0f the head of the Separatms device 5e than the projections 5. The projection 5b is a 12b 1S greater than the dlemeter '0f the Dreiecterminal projection and is characterized by the tion 5b. The head of the separatme devlce 12b, fact that it is of less height and of less diameter therefore, has some hold on the endportion of than the projections 5. The projections 4 are the wispofhair and aids 1n keeping 1t 1n place, as

disposed out of transverse alignment with re- Fig. 1 will mdicate. The members 1 and 2 have 55 thinned ends 14, in Which are located longitudinal seats or slots 15. t

In practical operation, the screws 12, 12a` and 12b are threaded outwardly in the auxiliary member 2, until the inner edges 18 of the members 1 and 2 can be brought into Contact. The hair 16 is held on the outer ends of the members 1 and 2, against the projection 5b, by a binder 1'7, engaged inthe seats or slots l5 of the ends 14 and is held on` the member 2 by theflaterally projecting head of the screw 12b. The hairf16 then is looped transversely about the projections 4, 5 and 5b, in opposite directions, substantially as shown'l in Fig. 1, and is drawn reasonably tight. The hair is Wet or treated otherwise, and the members 1 and 2 are separated by threading thescreWs-IZ, 12a. and 12b inwardly, to space the members 1 and 2, as shown in the drawingp By this' operation',

the hair is stretched tightly and a satisfactoryj Wave is produced. As shown at 19, the members 1 and 2, and the projections 4, 5 andy 5w are bevelled on theiredgeswhere' they comeinto contact with thehair- 16. There are, therefore, no-

In a hair Waving device, main and auxiliary members located side by side, the main and auxiliary members having oppositely extended projections, certain of the projections on one of said members being of a common length, an intermediate projection on said one member-being shorter than said certain projections, the outer terminal projection on said one member being shorter than said certain projections androf less diameter than said certain" projections, and screws engaging-the inner-'edge of th'ebther-of said-inembers, one of the screws being threaded into thel y 'inner end of said one member independently of the projections thereon,` another ofthe screws being"v threaded through the intermediate projection, longitudinally thereof, and having a head of approximately the same diameter as ythe outer end Iof vthe intermediatek projection, the outer surface of thehead being substantiallyflush with the outer end surfaces of said certain projections, and athirdscrew threaded thro-ugh thetermi'r'al proj ection', longitudinally" thereof; 'and having'f'a" head' -of greater diameter than' 'the'v outer .endfof the terminal projectiong'to afford a ihairehold';
